I'm Just Sayin' - The Church of Waddling Ducks

Soren Kierkegaard told a parable of a community of ducks waddling off to duck church to hear the duck preacher.

Column - More guns are not the answer

I want to thank all of the readers who responded to my recent column about assault weapons. Some e-mail messages and letters were written in wholehearted agreement. Others were downright nasty and, as is so typical, mostly unsigned.

Column - How many diplomas come courtesy of SparkNotes?

How many students actually read the novels they are assigned to read? Not as many as should, I would guess. It seems we’re galloping headlong into some kind of Post-Literate Age in which words — pitifully butchered words — are used for texting, mainly.
